After careful consideration and after closely listening to my tactical advisor's wisdom ("Attack! Attack! Attack!")...

The recent event of Shadows/Mars attacking the Gaim and all our more or less failed tries to communicate with the Shadows, indicate that the Shadow alliance is using the contrary strategy than the Vorlons:

Vorlons: They try to establish relations with the independent players of a kind that they don't need to worry about them. Thus they can focus their power on the Shadows without distractions. Additionally they use every chance to enlist the independent players against the Shadows and are willing to aid them for that purpose.
Shadows: They seem to seek victory by the rather longterm strategy of helping their allies to grow and expand... at the cost of the independ players. Logically this includes that they don't believe in helping those independent players nor do they view them as helpful temporary allies vs the Vorlons

Unfortunately this is almost the worst case scenario we can think of. Especially since we judge the Vorlon alliance the more dangerous one and we had somehow planned to rather help the Shadows.

As an immediate conclusion to this assumed Shadow strategy, SPOO told us to secure our northern flank (or die trying).

Initially I had hoped to come to a kind of agreement with the Shadows or a NAP with the Centauri to secure my northern flank against Centauri mineral packets. Obviously neither Shadows nor Centauri seem to be interested. And after the Marsians breaking their NAP with the Gaims without cancellation, I am rather relieved that the Spoomun Complat hasn't succeeded in negotiating a NAP with the Centauri.

Thus the SPOOmun Complat is preparing 2 high risk expeditions:

Foch:: 90k sighing SPOO believers ready for enlighted suicide are heading for Foch. Of course, they do it the proper SPOOmun Complat way: without any escorts since escorts would only show that they might fear death.
Franklin:: Since Franklin is defended by a dock, this mission needs an escort, as shameful as it might be. It was difficult to find enough members to take part in this mission. Finally SPOO himself had to make an announcement that every member part of the mission can truly abandon all hope and most of them, if not all, will surely die. But only after he declared that every possible survivor will be judged a martyr and granted a special place on the Meadows of Sighing, members of the SPOOmun Complat hurried up to enlist for this mission.
